72% of Americans use the internet...
A new Pew Internet & American Life Project reportsays 73 percent of Americans say they use the Internet, up from 66 percent in January 2005, with a lot of the increase coming from those over 50. And here's something even more interesting: . . . And the share of Americans who have broadband connections at home has now reached 42% (about 84 million), up from 29% (about 59 million) in January 2005. That's 42 percent of Americans, period -- not 42 percent of Internet users. That's incredibly significant, because broadband usage changes both behavior and attitudes. That's also reflected in the report: As one measure of the impact of the internet, we have repeatedly asked online Americans whether or not the internet has improved various aspects of their life. Over time, internet users have become more likely to note big improvements in their ability to shop and the way they pursue their hobbies and interests. A majority of internet users also consistently report that the internet helps them to do their job and improves the way the get information about health care. Some key findings are listed below: • The share of online Americans who say the internet has greatly improved their ability to shop has doubled--from 16% to 32%--since March 2001. • The share of online Americans who say the internet has greatly improved the way they pursue hobbies and interests has grown to 33%, up from 20% in March 2001. • The share of online Americans who say the internet has greatly improved their ability to do their job has grown to 35%, up from 24% in March 2001. • The share of online Americans who say the internet has greatly improved the way they get information about health care has grown to 20%, up from 17% in
March 2001.
